Rabbit Anti-Proteasome 20S alpha 6/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The gene encodes a 246-amino acid polypeptide containing an RNA binding motif, a putative nuclear localization signal, and phosphorylation sites. The alpha subunits comprises the outer rings of the proteasome. Some alpha subunits contain a functional nuclear localization signal; proteasomes are found in both the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments of the cell. Alpha subunits may constitute a physical barrier that limits access of cytosolic proteins into the inner proteolytic chamber.
Function:
The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex which is characterized by its ability to cleave peptides with Arg, Phe, Tyr, Leu, and Glu adjacent to the leaving group at neutral or slightly basic pH. The proteasome has an ATP-dependent proteolytic activity.
Subunit:
The 26S proteasome consists of a 20S proteasome core and two 19S regulatory subunits. The 20S proteasome core is composed of 28 subunits that are arranged in four stacked rings, resulting in a barrel-shaped structure. The two end rings are each formed by seven alpha subunits, and the two central rings are each formed by seven beta subunits. The catalytic chamber with the active sites is on the inside of the barrel.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm, P-body (By similarity). Note=Co-localizes with TRIM5 in the cytoplasmic bodies (By similarity).
Similarity:
Belongs to the peptidase T1A family.
